Join us for dynamic storytelling from Alexander! Worlds collide when this actor-singer-dancer-writer engages audiences. When Alexander tells a story you’ll shake, laugh, swing and sing. Prepare to be moved!

Alexander Elisa is an award-winning actor who has been a featured soloist in stateside operettas (Yeomen of the Guard, Candide, The Student Prince) and international gospel concerts. He has Off-Broadway and numerous regional theater credits (Smokey Joe’s Café, Dreamgirls, Beauty & the Beast, West Side Story). He’s done film, voice-over, and even scored a recurring role on a children’s television show (Kid Fitness, PBS). Up until 2020, for almost four years, Alexander’s weekly showcase Showtime Saturdays with Alexander at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum brought family audiences to and from Harlem to revel in the artist’s rendition of original, adapted and even improvised tales.

For families and children ages 5 to 12.
